Hi everyone,
I have an overspec "5mw" AAA greenie from DX, at about 20mw - 30mw but there are a couple things that are really bothering me about it.
First is that the lens is dirty (lots of speckles) and not properly focused.
Second is that there isn't a good battery choice. Lithium primaries are too expensive, so are alkalines, and eneloops AFAIK will only keep it at full power for a short time. There's NiZN too but they're just not good batteries in general.
So I am looking for a greenie that has a good focus. Preferably not adjustable but I guess adjustable is better than unfocused.
I want it to use a rechargeable battery source and be able to maintain 20mw+ output for a fair amount of time without dimming.
Smallest form factor and lowest price is preferred.
I have eneloops, 18650, pretty much anything will be fine as long as it's rechargeable.
I also don't mind if I have to mod it. If someone can link me or tell me where to get a suitable boost driver that works for 2AAA NiMH or a buck that will work with 2xliion or liFE I'm capable of replacing the driver.
Thanks for reading.
